The Heartwood Exploration (M)

Ypres followed his boycott of this bully charade. The male in front of him kept up his incessant talking, and Beric was growing bored of it. He was doing his best to stay calm, but the male took the liberty of stepping into his personal space. Were he to touch Beric, Beric would unleash hell upon him. His words were as taunt as his muscles. By your own words, you want us no closer than ten pawsteps. There is an entire forest between your borders and where I sit now. So, according to your standards, there should be no reason why you're trying to make us leave. He didn't bother to growl, or even bare his teeth, but the words that came from his throat were laced with deadly promises. If you attempt to move me yourself, the grass beneath your paws will be flooded with your blood.
